ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

      THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 1996 VS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 1995

        Net sales for the third fiscal  quarter ended April 28, 1996,  increased
$1.1 million, or 2.2%, to $48.8 million,  compared to $47.7 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995. Sales in the third quarter included $18.3 million of new
and/or replacement  products introduced since the beginning of the year and $4.0
million of higher  sales of certain  products  carried over from the prior year.
These sales increases were offset by a) $15.2 million of sales eliminated due to
the  discontinuation  of products for prior year models,  and b) $6.0 million of
lower sales of certain carryover products.

        Gross  profit in the  third  quarter  ended  April  28,  1996  decreased
$181,000, or 3.1%, to $5.6 million,  compared to gross profit of $5.8 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 1995. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was
11.5%  compared to a gross profit of 12.1% in the same period of the prior year.
The decrease in gross profit is primarily  attributable to  comparatively  lower
average unit margins on the product mix comprising total sales in the 1996 third
quarter  compared to the product mix sold in the third quarter of last year. The
decrease  in  gross  profit  is  also  attributable  to  certain  selling  price
reductions that took effect in January 1996.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $95,000, or 2.5%,
for the three  months  ended  April 28, 1996 to $3.7  million,  compared to $3.8
million  for the same  period of fiscal  1995.  As a  percentage  of net  sales,
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to 7.7% in the third
quarter this year compared to 8.0% in the 1995 period.  The nominal reduction in
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the third  quarter of fiscal
1996 is  primarily  attributable  to  economies  resulting  from the transfer of
certain engineering and


                                       5

technical  functions from several  operating  plants to the Company's  technical
facilities in Dearborn, Michigan.

        Interest  expense  in the third  fiscal  quarter  ended  April 28,  1996
increased $250,000,  or 25.8%, to $1.2 million compared to $969,000 in the third
quarter  of fiscal  1995.  The  increase  was due to a higher  average  level of
borrowing under the Company's revolving line of credit.

        The Company's effective tax rate was 32.2% on pre-tax income of $659,000
in the third  quarter  ended April 28, 1996 compared to an effective tax rate of
40.9% on  pre-tax  income  of  $995,000  in the 1995  third  quarter.  The lower
effective  tax rate for the  third  quarter  this  year is due to the fact  that
pre-tax losses  incurred  during the first six months of the current fiscal year
exceeded the amount the Company was  eligible to  carryback to prior years,  and
accordingly,  the Company had the benefit of a net operating  loss  carryforward
for  utilization  against the taxable  income earned in the third fiscal quarter
ended April 28, 1996.

        As a result of the  foregoing,  net  income in the third  quarter  ended
April 28, 1996 decreased $141,000, or 24.0%, to $447,000 compared to $588,000 in
the third quarter of the prior year.  Net income per share  declined  27.3%,  or
$.03,  to $.08 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $.11 in the prior
year period.

        FIRST NINE MONTHS FISCAL 1996 VS FIRST NINE MONTHS FISCAL 1995

        Net Sales in the nine  months  ended  April  28,  1996,  decreased  $5.3
million, or 3.9%, to $128.7 million compared to $134.0 million in the first nine
months of the prior fiscal year.  Sales in the fiscal first nine months included
$34.1 million of new and/or  replacement  products  introduced during the period
and $17.8 million of higher sales of products carried over from last year. These
sales  increases  were  offset by a) $42.8  million of sales  eliminated  due to
discontinuation of pro-


                                       6

ducts for prior year  models,  and b) $14.4  million  of lower  sales of certain
carryover products.

        Gross  profit for the nine months ended April 28, 1996  decreased  $11.0
million, or 60.9%, to $7.0 million, compared to $18.0 million in the fiscal 1995
first nine months. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit for the first nine
months  this  year was 5.5%  compared  to 13.4% in the same  period of the prior
year.  Contributing  to the  substantially  lower gross  profit  during the nine
months ended April 28, 1996 were the  comparatively  lower sales,  a product mix
carrying  narrower unit  margins,  a  significant  concentration  of new product
launches, and certain selling price reductions that took effect in January 1996.
The Company also experienced  relatively higher raw material costs that impacted
operating performance during the first three months of the nine month period.

        Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses in the nine months ended
April 28, 1996 increased  slightly to $11.0 million compared to $10.9 million in
the fiscal 1995 nine months. As a percentage of net sales, selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  were 8.5% in the nine  months  compared to 8.2% in the
same  period  of  the  prior  year.  The  difference  was  primarily  due to the
comparatively lower sales volume in the nine months this year.

        Interest  expense in the nine  months  ended  April 28,  1996  increased
$876,000,  or 32.2%, to $3.6 million compared to $2.7 million in the 1995 fiscal
nine months. The increase was due to higher average utilization of the Company's
revolving line-of-credit.

        For the nine months ended April 28, 1996,  before  provision  for income
taxes, the Company incurred a loss of $7.5 million compared to pre-tax income of
$4.4  million  earned in the nine  month  period of the prior  year.  Due to the
carryback of the  nine-month  net operating  loss to prior years,  an income tax
benefit was  available  at an  effective  rate of 24%  compared to an income tax
expense rate of 41% for the first nine months of fiscal 1995.

 
                                      7

        For the nine months  ended April 28,  1996,  the Company  incurred a net
loss of $5.7  million,  or $1.05  per  share,  compared  to net  income  of $2.6
million,  or $.46 per share- earned in the first fiscal nine months of the prior
year.  The negative  operating  performance  for the first nine months of fiscal
1996 was most  pronounced  in the first two quarters of the fiscal  period.  The
most significant causes of adverse operating results during the first fiscal six
months were lower sales,  a product mix carrying  lower unit margins,  and costs
associated with new product launches.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        During the first nine months ended April 28, 1996 activities  related to
a series of new product launches required additional  investments in inventories
totaling $1.7 million and a $13.7 million increase in accounts receivable. These
increases  added to a $5.7  million  net  loss for the  period  were  offset  by
depreciation  and  amortization of $4.3 million and a $12.9 million  increase in
accounts  payable  resulting in net use of cash in operating  activities of $3.1
million. This employment of cash in operations plus capital expenditures of $3.1
million  in the first  nine  months  were  funded  primarily  by a $6.9  million
increase in utilization of the Company's revolving line-of-credit.

        As a result of the foregoing, at April 28, 1996 total capitalization was
$44.1  million  including   long-term  debt  of  $30.9  million,   or  70%,  and
stockholders'  equity  of  $13.2  million,  or  30%,  of  total  capitalization.
Meanwhile,  during the first nine  months net  working  capital  decreased  $7.0
million with the result that at April 28, 1996 the current ratio was .86 to 1.

        As a result of the  foregoing,  during the nine  months  ended April 28,
1996 there were conditions of non-compliance with technical covenants of certain
of the  Company's  debt  agreements.  The holders  thereof  were advised and the


                                       8


Company  undertook  negotiations  for waivers  and/or  amendments.  Accordingly,
during  March and April  1996,  the Company  entered  into  agreements  with the
holders of certain debt obligations which provide,  among other things,  for the
rescheduling  and extension of principal and interest  payment due dates thereby
avoiding  and/or  eliminating  defaults and  conditions of  non-compliance  with
technical covenants of the debt agreements.

        Also during the third quarter, in addition to the measures undertaken to
restore operations to profitable levels, the Company began pursuing alternatives
for additional  sources of liquidity to meet  forecasted  requirements.  Several
such  alternatives  have been  identified  and are continuing to be explored and
considered.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

                  On June 2, 1994,  the  Company  was served  with a summons and
         complaint  with  respect to Vicki  Match Suna and Lori Rosen v.  Bailey
         Corporation, a purported class action suit brought in the United States
         District Court for the District of New Hampshire. The complaint alleged
         that the Company violated Rule 10b-5 of the Securities and Exchange Act
         of 1934 by a purported  dissemination  of misleading  information as to
         its financial  position in connection with the purchase and sale of its
         securities.   The  Company  was  successful  in  having  the  complaint
         dismissed,  and also in rebuffing  the  plaintiffs'  attempt to file an
         amended  complaint.  The Court allowed the  plaintiffs to make one more
         attempt,  however, and on September 1, 1995, a second amended complaint
         was filed.

                  The  Company   moved  to  dismiss  the   plaintiff's   amended
         complaint.  The court granted the Company's motion. On January 23,1996,
         the plaintiffs appealed the decision of the court. The Company believes
         the appeal is without merit and intends to defend it.

                  With respect to other legal proceedings,  reference is made to
         the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year ended
         July, 30, 1995,  filed with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission on
         October 30, 1995.

Item 5.  Other Information.

                  On June 5, 1996,  the Company  entered into an  agreement  and
         plan of merger  with  Vemco  Acquisition  Corp.,  ("Vemco")  a Delaware
         Corporation  and wholly owned  subsidiary of Venture  Holdings Trust of
         Fraser, Michigan ("Venture"). The agreement calls for Vemco to commence
         a cash tender offer for all outstanding  shares of the Company's common
         stock, $.10 par value, for $8.75 per share.  Pursuant to the agreement,
         on June 11, 1996, Vemco commenced the cash tender offer.

                  The offer is conditioned  upon, among other things,  (1) there
         being validly tendered prior to the expiration of the offer that number
         of shares of the Company's common stock which, together with the shares
         then owned by Vemco or Venture,  represents  at least a majority of the
         shares of the Company's  common stock  outstanding  on a  fully-diluted
         basis,  (2) Venture  having  received the financing  contemplated  by a
         commitment letter,  dated June 3, 1996, from NBD Bank pursuant to which
         NBD Bank has committed to provide the  financing  necessary to purchase
         all  outstanding  shares of


                                       10


         the Company's  common stock  pursuant to the offer and to refinance all
         outstanding  indebtedness of the Company reflected on its reports filed
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (3) the applicable waiting
         period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust  Improvements Act of 1976
         having expired or  terminated,  and (4) the Company having given notice
         of redemption for all  convertible  debentures  which are redeemable at
         the Company's option in accordance with their terms.

                  Vemco has  entered  into  agreements  with Roger R.  Phillips,
         William A.  Taylor,  Louis T. Enos, E Gordon  Young,  John G. Owens and
         Allan B.  Freedman,  directors and  executive  officers of the Company,
         pursuant to which each  individual  has granted an option to Venture to
         acquire all of the shares of the  Company's  common stock  beneficially
         owned  by  them,  to  tender  into  the  offer  their  Company   shares
         (representing  approximately 28.5% of the Company's  outstanding shares
         on a  fully-diluted  basis);  and to vote their  shares in favor of the
         merger at any stockholders meeting that may be required to complete the
         acquisition.

                  Following  the  successful  consummation  of the tender offer,
         Vemco will be merged with and into the Company (the Company will be the
         surviving corporation) and the stockholders of the Company will receive
         $8.75 in cash for each of their shares of the Company's common stock.

                  In  connection  with the tender  offer and plan of merger,  on
         June 5, 1996 Vemco (the "Purchaser")  entered into indemnity agreements
         with each of the  directors  and the  chief  financial  officer  of the
         Company (the  "Indemnitees"),  The agreements  provide that among other
         things,  under specified  circumstances  and subject to applicable laws
         and the Company's  certificate of incorporation  and bylaws,  Purchaser
         will provide  indemnification  for all expenses  reasonably incurred in
         the event that an Indemnitee  becomes a participant  in a proceeding by
         reason of or arising  from an  indemnifiable  event - all as defined in
         the indemnity  agreements.  The indemnification will continue until the
         later of six years after the  Indemnitee  ceases to serve as a director
         or officer of the Company or the time of the final  termination  of all
         pending  proceedings  as to  which  the  Indemnitee  has the  right  to
         indemnification.

                  Also in  connection  with the tender offer and plan of merger,
         on June 5, 1996 Louis T. Enos,  Allan B. Freedman,  John G. Owens and E
         Gordon Young,  each of whom is a director of the Company,  entered into
         noncompetition agreements with the Company. Under the agreements,  each
         individual   agrees   that  for  a  period  of  five  years   following
         consummation  of the  merger  he will not  engage  in  competition  (as
         defined  in the  agreements)  with the  Company or the  Purchaser.  The
         agreements also provide that commencing with the first day of the first
         calendar month following the  consummation  of the merger,  the Company
         will a) pay the  individuals  (or his estate or heirs) $5,000 per month
         for 60 months; b) retain the individual and his spouse on the Company's
         long  term  health  insurance  policy  until  age 65, if and as long as
         permitted by applicable  laws and the Com-



                                       11

         pany's health care  provider,  and c) from age 65 until their death the
         Company  will pay the monthly  cost of  Medicare  Plan (b) and the AARP
         Supplemental  Insurance Plan (f) or its  equivalent.  In the event that
         the individual and his spouse cease to be covered by the aforementioned
         health insurance plans, the Company will purchase equivalent  insurance
         for them.

                  Also  on June 5,  1996,  the  Company  entered  amendments  to
         employment and  noncompetition  agreements with Roger R. Phillips,  the
         Company's chief executive officer, and William A. Taylor, the Company's
         senior vice president. The agreement with Mr. Phillips provides for the
         extension  of his  term of  employment  to  December  31,  1997 and the
         commencement  of his  noncompetition  agreement on January 1, 1998. The
         agreement  with  Mr.  Taylor   provides  for  the  termination  of  his
         employment  on the  last  day of the  month  in  which  the  merger  is
         consummated and the commencement of his noncompetition agreement on the
         following  day.  Both  Mr.  Phillips  and Mr.  Taylor's  noncompetition
         agreements  include  the  same  provisions  as to  term,  payments  and
         benefits as the  aforementioned  noncompetition  agreements with Mssrs.
         Enos, Freedman, Owens and Young.

                  In connection  with the agreement and plan of merger,  on June
         5,  1996  several   corporate   affiliates   of  the   Purchaser   (the
         "Guarantors")  entered into a guarantee  agreement with the Company and
         its directors and its chief  financial  officer (the  "Beneficiaries").
         Under   the   Guarantee,   the   Guarantors   jointly   and   severally
         unconditionally  guaranteed  to the Company and the  Beneficiaries  the
         full  performance of the Purchaser as to all of its  obligations  under
         the  aforementioned   agreement  and  plan  of  merger,  the  indemnity
         agreements,   the  noncompetition  agreements  and  the  amendments  to
         employment and  noncompetition  agreements.  The Guaranty also provides
         for  recovery  by the Company  and the  Beneficiaries  of all costs and
         expenses  incurred  by  them  as a  result  of the  enforcement  of the
         Guarantors' obligations, including attorneys' fees.

                        RELEASE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS RELEASE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made on the 14th
day of March, 1996, by and between BAILEY  CORPORATION,  a Delaware  corporation
("Bailey") and  PREMIX/E.M.S.  INC., and Ohio corporation  ("EMS")  (referred to
collectively as the "Parties").

WHEREAS,  on July 31, 1994,  Bailey and EMS entered  into an Asset  Purchase and
Sale Agreement (the "Sale  Agreement")  pursuant to which  substantially  all of
EMS' assets used in its Business (as defined in the Sale Agreement) were sold to
and purchased by Bailey.

WHEREAS, on January 31, 1996, principal in the amount of $625,000.00 and accrued
interest  in the amount of  $306,705.30  became due and payable by Bailey to EMS
pursuant to that certain  Secured  Promissory Note (the "Secured Note") executed
by Bailey contemporaneously with and as part of the Sale Agreement; and

WHEREAS,  on January 31,  1996,  accrued  interest in the amount of  $360,000.00
became due and  payable by Bailey to EMS  pursuant to that  certain  Convertible
Debenture (the  "Debenture")  executed by Bailey  contemporaneously  with and as
part of the Sale Agreement; and

WHEREAS,  on July 31, 1996,  principal in the amount of $625,000.00  and accrued
interest in the approximate amount of $315,000.00 will become due and payable by
Bailey to EMS pursuant to the Secured Note,  and accrued  interest in the amount
of  $360,000  will  become  due and  payable  by Bailey to EMS  pursuant  to the
Debenture; and

WHEREAS,  since October, 1995, Bailey has failed to comply with the covenant set
forth in Section 17(j) of the  Debenture;  and




WHEREAS, on or about January 25, 1996, Bailey filed a lawsuit against EMS in the
United  States  District  Court for the  District  of New  Hampshire  seeking an
injunction  against  EMS to prevent EMS from  enforcing  the  provisions  of the
Secured Note and Debenture; and

WHEREAS,  pursuant to an agreement  dated January 31, 1996, as extended by three
subsequent  agreements,  Bailey and EMS agreed to extend the time of performance
of the payments  originally due January 31, 1996, as stated above,  to March 14,
1996; and

WHEREAS,  the Parties have  attempted to resolve  numerous  differences  between
themselves without recourse to expensive and time-consuming  litigation, and now
desire to enter into this Agreement as follows; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and other consideration
contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. This  Agreement  shall be  binding  on both  Bailey  and EMS from the date of
execution of this document.

2. This Agreement  will supersede the agreement  entered into between Bailey and
EMS on January 31, 1996, as extended and described above.

3. The Secured Note,  Debenture,  and related Security  Documents will remain in
effect as they have been executed.

4. A new note ("New  Note A"),  in the form  attached  hereto as Exhibit A, from
Bailey to EMS in the amount of  $1,291,705.30  will be executed,  with principal
and interest  accruing from January 31, 1996, at 8% per annum,  becoming due and
payable on January 31, 1997,  with no interim  payments of principal or interest
required.  Bailey agrees to use its best efforts,  as determined in its sole and
absolute  discretion,  to provide




security  for New Note A, and  shall  amend New Note A  accordingly.  New Note A
shall be in  satisfaction  of the  principal  and  interest  originally  due and
payable by Bailey to EMS on January  31, 1996  pursuant to the Secured  Note and
Debenture.

5. An additional new note ("New Note B"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B, will be issued on July 31, 1996, from Bailey to EMS in an amount equal to the
principal  and  interest  which  will  then be due from  Bailey to EMS under the
Secured Note and  Debenture  (the  approximate  amount is  $1,300,000.00),  with
interest accruing from July 31, 1996 at 8% per annum, and principal and interest
becoming due and payable on July 31, 1997, with no interim payments of principal
and interest required.  Bailey agrees to use its best efforts,  as determined in
its sole and absolute discretion, to provide additional security for New Note B,
and shall amend New Note B accordingly.  New Note B shall be in  satisfaction of
the principal and interest  originally  due and payable by Bailey to EMS on July
31, 1996, pursuant to the Secured Note and the Debenture.

5a. EMS waives compliance with the financial ratio provision in Section 17(j) of
the Debenture through October 31, 1997.

6. As part of the  consideration  paid by EMS to Bailey in exchange for Bailey's
agreement to settle all arbitration,  indemnification, and other claims released
herein, EMS will pay to Bailey the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000),  but
only upon such date as Bailey has paid in full all  principal  and  interest due
under Secured  Note,  New Note A and New Note B, and upon payment in full of all
principal  and  interest  due  under  the  Debenture  (whether  paid  in cash or
satisfied  in stock of  Bailey).  The  final  payments  by  Bailey to EMS of all
remaining amounts due under the Secured Note, New Note A and New Note B, and the
payment  by  EMS  to  Bailey  of  $1,000,000  will  be  done  in a  simultaneous
transaction  and by certified  checks,  if requested in writing by either EMS or
Bailey.

7. Within three business days of the receipt by EMS of the  $500,000.00  held in
the Environmental  Escrow Account by Huntington Bank (Ohio) ("Escrow  Account"),
as



provided for in the Environmental  Indemnification Agreement entered into by and
between  Bailey  and  EMS  on  July  31,  1994  ("Environmental  Indemnification
Agreement"), EMS shall pay to Bailey the sum of $250,000.00. Such release of the
$500,000 in the Escrow  Account shall have no effect on EMS'  obligations in the
Environmental Indemnification Agreement.

7a.  Bailey and EMS both  represent  that all real estate and personal  property
taxes  for the  year  1994  attributable  to the  assets  conveyed  in the  Sale
Agreement   have  been  paid  to  the   appropriate   taxing   authority.   This
representation  by both  Bailey  and  EMS is a  condition  precedent  to the net
payment by EMS to Bailey described on Exhibit C.

8.  Except as  provided  in  paragraph  9,  Bailey  hereby,  for  itself and its
affiliates,  successors  and  assigns,  releases and  discharges  fully EMS, its
affiliated companies including parent and subsidiary  companies,  and divisions,
and their directors,  officers,  employees,  agents, successors and assigns from
any and all claims, liabilities, demands and causes of action, known or unknown,
under any tort,  contract,  strict  liability,  product  liability,  negligence,
fraud,  misrepresentation  or any other  theory  of  recovery,  resulting  from,
arising  out of,  related to or  associated  with any matters  pertaining  to or
arising  out of The Sale  Agreement  including,  but not  limited to, any of the
issues previously  arbitrated by the Parties, or any of the issues enumerated in
Exhibit "C", attached hereto and made a part hereof.

9. The  provisions  of  paragraph  8 shall  not apply to the  matters  listed on
Exhibit D, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

10.  Both  Bailey and EMS  represent  that the  execution  and  delivery of this
Agreement  have been  duly  authorized  and  approved,  that no other  corporate
proceedings  on the part of either  Bailey  or EMS are  necessary  with  respect
thereto,  and that this  Agreement  constitutes  the  legal,  valid and  binding
obligation  of both Bailey and EMS,  enforceable  against both Bailey and EMS in
accordance with its terms.





11.  Each  party  shall  be  solely  responsible  for its own  costs,  including
attorneys'  fees,  associated with this Agreement and the subject matter hereof,
including all arbitration proceedings,  litigation, and negotiations through the
date of this Agreement.

12. This Agreement shall be  confidential to the Parties,  and no disclosure nor
public  announcement other than required by law or contract will be made without
the written consent of the non-disclosing Party.

13. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of  Ohio.  All  terms,  conditions  and  covenants  of the  Agreement  shall  be
applicable to and binding upon,  and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties'
respective agents, employees, subsidiaries, divisions, successors and assigns.

14. In the event that any suit in law or  equity,  arbitration  or other  formal
proceeding  is  instituted by any party to enforce or interpret any part of this
Agreement,  or to recover damages for breach hereof,  the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover costs of suit incurred therein, and to also recover as an
element of such costs (but not as damages)  reasonable  attorneys' fees incurred
by such prevailing party.

15. This Agreement  constitutes the entire agreement and  understanding  between
the parties concerning the matters described herein, and superseded and replaces
all prior negotiations,  representations,  proposed agreements,  and agreements,
written or oral, relating to such subject matter.






         In witness  whereof,  the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed in duplicate and delivered as of the date written above.

                        EXTENSION AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT




         This  Agreement  is made this 24th day of  April,  1996 by and  between
Bailey Corporation ("Bailey") and Bailey Manufacturing Corporation ("BMC"), both
Delaware  corporations  of Seabrook,  New Hampshire;  and The Boler  Company,  a
Delaware corporation of Itasca, Illinois ("Boler"),

                                   WITNESSETH

         In consideration of the mutual covenants  contained herein, the parties
agree as follows, to wit:

1. Recitals.

         1.1 On July 1, 1993, BMC acquired  certain  assets and operations  from
Boler.

         1.2 In part payment for the purchase price, BMC and Bailey as co-makers
executed a  non-negotiable  promissory  note in favor of Boler in the  principal
amount of $5,046,730 (the "Fixed Asset Note")..

         1.3 By its terms,  the Fixed Asset Note  provided  that July 1, 1996 is
the "Fixed Asset Note Extension  Date".  Interest on the Fixed Asset Note was to
be paid semi-annually as accrued,  commencing six months from the date of issue.
To date,  all  accrued  interest  scheduled  to be paid has been  timely paid to
Boler.

         1.4 The Fixed  Asset Note  provides  that the  principal  amount of the
Fixed Asset Note will be  increased  by a factor of 17.65% plus  interest on the
amount  determined by this factor from July 1, 1993 through the Fixed Asset Note
Extension  Date at a rate of 8% per annum if it is not paid in full on the Fixed
Asset Note Extension Date.

         1.5 BMC and Bailey have  requested  Boler to reschedule the Fixed Asset
Note Extension  Date.  Boler has agreed to do so, and in  consideration  of that
indulgence,  BMC and Bailey  have  agreed to accept an  increase  in the rate of
interest on the Fixed Asset Note.

2. Extension and Amendment. The Fixed Asset Note is hereby amended as follows:

         2.1 The Fixed Asset Note  Extension  Date is extended to the earlier to
occur of November 1, 1996 or the date of any transaction,  or of the culmination
of a series of  transactions,  by which a  majority  of the shares of the voting
stock of either  BMC or Bailey is sold or  otherwise  changes  hands or by which
more than one half of the assets




(as determined by their book value) of either BMC or Bailey is sold or otherwise
changes  hands.  The first sentence of Section 1 of the Fixed Asset Note and the
payment schedule at the top of page 2 on the Fixed Asset Note are hereby amended
accordingly.

         2.2 The rate of interest on the unpaid  principal  balance of the Fixed
Asset Note is increased to Nine percent (9%) for the period from July 1, 1996 to
and including the Fixed Asset Note Extension Date established in accordance with
Section 2.1 (the  "Extension  Period").  Interest  accrued  during the Extension
Period, increased in accordance with the preceding sentence, shall be payable on
the Fixed Asset Note Extension  Date, as rescheduled in accordance  with Section
2.1 above.

         2.3 The parties  further agree that each of the  Collateral  Agreements
(as that term is defined in the  Agreement of Purchase  and Sale,  dated July 1,
1993 amongst the parties  hereto) and the  Agreement of Purchase and Sale itself
shall be (and hereby is) amended consistent with the foregoing amendments of the
Fixed Asset Note, and each party agrees on request of any other party to execute
further  documents  evidencing  these  amendments  to  each  of  the  Collateral
Agreements and to the Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

3. Reaffirmation. Subject only to the foregoing extension and amendment, BMC and
Bailey hereby reaffirm and ratify the original terms and conditions of the Fixed
Asset Note and of each of the Collateral Agreements.  BMC and Bailey each waives
any defenses to the Fixed Asset Note and each of the Collateral Agreements which
might be otherwise asserted in consequence of the modifications agreed to herein
by the parties to the Fixed Asset Note and each of the Collateral Agreements.

4.  Miscellaneous.  This  Agreement  shall be  governed  by the laws of State of
Delaware  without regard to conflict of law  principles.  The Agreement shall be
binding  upon the parties  hereto,  their  successors  in interest  and assigns.
Nothing  in this  Agreement  shall be  deemed  to  modify  any of the  rights or
obligations  of each of the parties  under the  Agreement  of Purchase  and Sale
dated July 1,  1993,  nor shall it be  construed  as in any  fashion  modifying,
limiting,  waiving or affecting any of the rights or  obligations of Boler under
an Intercreditor Agreement, dated July 1, 1993 between Boler and BayBank.







         In witness whereof,  the parties have by their officers duly authorized
set their hands and seals this 24th day of April, 1996.
